Well first, brother - they'll be throwing Gingrich under their righteous bus as a sacrifice to their deity, Ray-Gun (not to be confused with the factually accurate, Reagan).

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

I have the right to insult him because he insulted me first.

I didn't see his insult. I doubt highly that he wished your marriage to fail.

And yes, you have the right to be a crybaby. It's a free country.

Yep. That started it all. I am surprised the mods left that post alone.

Thanks for posting the link, .. did you read it?

I missed the part where Newt "threw in the towel".

Seems more like he back peddled a bit by saying he "spoke too strong" but that the content of that speech was Still unacceptable.

You call that Wussing out?

Wussing out- is when you commit to the country to end "Don't ask don't tell" and this many months later he still has not signed the change.

THATS wussing out.

He has let down a lot of people and left many a ** crying in their bunk at night.

(CNN) — A week after calling Sonia Sotomayor a "racist" in reference to her 2001 "wise Latina" remarks, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh said Wednesday he's now open to supporting President Obama's Supreme Court nominee.

"I can see a possibility of supporting this nomination if I can be convinced that she does have a sensibility toward life in a legal sense," Limbaugh said on his radio program.

Limbaugh's statement comes the same day former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who himself derided Sotomayor as a "racist" last week, wrote in an op-ed that he regretted his choice of words.

On his show Wednesday, Limbaugh said his potential support of Sotomayor stems from the nominee's unclear stance on abortion coupled with the fact that she is a Catholic.

"I don't know that it will ever happen, but if you know, the opportunity to get somebody like her, she's a Catholic, she's a devout Catholic, she's a Hispanic Catholic, Puerto Rican, they tend to be devout, she hasn't got a record on this. Normally liberals do have a record," Limbaugh said.

But, unlike Gingrich, the conservative talker did not back away from his contention Sotomayor is a racist.

I didn't know why he retracted it," Limabaugh said of Gingrich. "What is it? It's racism, reverse racism, whatever, but it's still racism, and she would bring a form of racism and bigotry to the court. But as I said yesterday, folks, I'm — I'm — I may look past that.

Meanwhile, Obama officials have said the president has not directly asked Sotomayor how she might rule in abortion rights cases, but California Democrat Dianne Feinstein — who met with Sotomayor Tuesday — said that the judge believes strongly in legal precedent.

"I believe she has a real respect for precedent and … if that is really true then I will agree with her, and I believe it is," said Feinstein, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

El Rushbo...that big fluffer.

Well thankfully, it really doesn't matter what Gingrich or Limbaugh think, since they're not in the Senate and will not be voting on her confirmation.

Here's what one Republican senator (Lindsay Graham) had to say yesterday on the subject. Obviously a more level headed approach.

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/law/jan-jun...ings_06-03.html

GWEN IFILL: I don't want to skip over something you mentioned in passing, that's Newt Gingrich's comment that she is a racist.

SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: Yes.

GWEN IFILL: He took that back or stepped away from that today.

SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: Good.

GWEN IFILL: Do you think that was a good idea?

SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: Yes, because she's clearly not. I mean, a person who's -- that's a horrible thing to say about somebody, quite frankly. That's a very hard-hitting blow.

And look at the way she's lived her life. She's worked in all kinds of environments. She's worked with people from all walks of life. And no one's ever said that about her.

But her speech is troubling. And, quite frankly, I think she needs to address that. I didn't ask her to apologize. Traditionally, nominees do not talk before the hearing, but I'm sure she will address that. I think she should. I think it would help the country; I think it would help her.

A.I am always reluctant to take one statement a person makes and brand the person based on that.

I've cut Obama slack in this area too, sometimes you just get talking.. especially in public and something comes out ahhh less reflective of your beliefs than you had wanted.

Such as the time Obama said something about "Punishing a young lady with a baby".

If someone is truly a racist, there will be more than ONE sound bit to kick around.

Is this nominee a flaming LIB?

I'm sure... or she would not have been picked.

I think some of us on the right who have watched the LEFT so effectively brand people... even ruin their careers over one misspoken line (trent Lott comes to mind) and they of course want pay-back when the shoe is on the other foot.

Naturally Rush is a Political animal, everything is SPIN and moving the ball forward, Newt doesn't rub me that way.

I think he saw a clear double standard and he labeled her comments in the same way the LEFT most certainly would have painted them... had someone on the RIght made them.

B. It also "seems" like some have concluded that Sotomeyr "might" not be as bad (in all areas) as one might expect.
